300TE Rear pads and rotors
 
I need to install new rear rotors and brake pads on my 1990 300TE. Does anybody know where I can find free repair manuels or tips? Has anybody done this on any E series and can offer advice?

The problem I'm having is removing the old rotors on the rear. Do you need a special tool like a sprocket/pully puller? Everything else is pretty straightforward.

Thanks,
Lee in Colorado

just make sure that you have released the parking brake.

tools? you need a big hammer or small mallet.

hit it bluntly on the flat area around the stud. make a strong quick blow, changing location each time. it should loosen up in three blows.

try putting some WD40 on the flange first.
